I’ve included the term Blue Mind in many of my books. I
often refer to it as the Blue Water Effect. Dr. Wallace J Nichols, a marine
biologist, popularized the phrase with his book Blue Mind: The Surprising
Science That Shows How Being Near, In, On, or Under Water Can Make You Happier,
Healthier, More Connected, and Better at What You Do. Blue Mind is the mildly
meditative state people fall into when they are near, in, under, or on water. It
is peace. It is the feeling of calmness and relaxation from being in or near
the water and positively affects our mental health.
The ocean is a common source of Blue Mind for me and Jon.
That is one of the main reasons we moved to Sayulita, Nayarit ten years ago and
now live in Puerto Vallarta. We look for ways to reach Blue Mind from the Pacific
Ocean, where we live, and other seas when we travel.
Here are some ways we have experienced it. I started posting photos on May 26, 2025, and updated them daily, mรกs o menos.
